Product Details and Features:
Concentration: Contains 5% sodium chloride, precisely crafted to combat corneal swelling.
Format: Available in a sterile ophthalmic solution for safe and direct application to the eyes.
Packaging: Comes in a practical 15 mL dropper bottle, designed for precise dosing and easy use.
Brand: Produced by Rugby Labs, known for delivering high-quality healthcare solutions.
Use: Primarily targets corneal edema to relieve discomfort and support clearer, more comfortable vision.

The hypertonic sodium chloride solution works by creating an osmotic gradient across the corneal surface, which helps to pull excess fluid out of the corneal tissues. This osmotic action effectively reduces corneal swelling, improving both transparency and comfort, and enhancing overall vision quality.

3. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it, and squeeze one or two drops into the pocket.
4. Close your eye gently, and press your finger on the inner corner of the eye for about one minute to prevent the solution from draining through the tear duct.
5. Use the drops as prescribed by your healthcare professional, usually one to four times daily.
